Catarrh is usually regarded as nothing more serious than a bad cold or
Blight inflammation of the inner skin and tissues of the head and throat,
when it is, in fact, not only a vexatious and troublesome disease, but a com
plicated and dangerous one. It is true that Catarrh usually begins with a
cold in the head, but when the poisons, which are thrown oil through the
secretions, find their way into the blood, it becomes a constitutional trouble
that affects all parts of the body. It has more annoying and disgusting symp
toms than any other disease. There is a sickening and offensive discharge
from the nostrils, a constant buzzing nois"e in the ears, headaches and pains
in the eyes are frequent, while filthy, tenacious matter drops back into the
throat requiring continual hawking and spitting, and in certain stages of the
disease the breath has an odor that is very offensive. Catarrh is worse in
Winter, because the cold weather closes the pores and glands, and the pois
ons and unhealthy vapors which should pass off that way are thrown back
on the tender linings and tissues, causing the inflammation which starts
the unhealthy secretions to be ab- , ,, ,

ruining the digestion and producing
chronic Dyspepsia, or Catarrh of the
stomach. It also affects the Kidneys.
Bladder and other members of the body, while the general health is weak
ened, appetite lost and the patient feels despondent and half sick all the time.
But worst of all, if the trouble is not checked the lungs become diseased from
the constant passage of poisoned blood through them, and Catarrh terminates
in Consumption, the most fatal of all diseases. You cannot get rid of Ca
tarrh by treating it with sprays, washes, inhalations, etc., because they only
reach the membranes and tissues, while the real cause of the trouble is in the
blood. These relieve the annoying symptoms for a time, but the poison is
all the while getting a stronger hold on the system and when they are left
off will manifest itself in worse form than before. S. S. S. is the greatest of

MU Brett Has Stopped Talking- of

It was Suuduy noon, and Miss Brett
bad Just come out of church. She wan
unhappy. On other days her work
kept her busy, but on Sunday, even
though she went to church twice, there
were many hours left In which to re
member that she hud no home but a
boarding-house "fourth back." Kevn
at church It wus not much better, for
she sat and envied the happy people
who came from homes
"And not one of them all remembers
the hundreds of lonely women In hoard
ing houses," she thought, week after
week. There was no question about It ;
Miss Brett was growing better.
She hurried past the groups of
churchgoers to her boarding-house.
She wus In the mood when the long
climb up the dark stairway offered the
satisfaction of a tangible grievance.
Once she caught a glimpse of a woman
standing wearily by her window, look
ing down Into the row of city back
yardH, and once the door of a hall bed
room was pushed to at the Bound of
her footsteps; the pressure of other
lonely lives added to the burden of her
discontent
Then suddenly something happened.
"What are you doing about It your
self?" The question came to her so clearly
that for a bewildered moment she
thought some one had spoken. Then
she pushed her door, to and dropped
Into the nearest chair.
"Well !" she ejaculated. Miss Brett
might be bitter, but no one had ever
said that she was not honest Alone
and unflinchingly she faced the accusa
tion. When, two hours later, she rose
and took off her bonnet she had en
tirely forgotten her dinner the matter
was clear.
"I'm a nice one to talk of others'
duties when there's that poor thing J,n
the hall bedroom next door who must
think my room a palace. I can't say
I like her looks, but probably she
doesn't like mine. If I'm going to
grumble I'll do It honestly, at any
rate."
There was a Jar of milk on the win-dow-slll
and some crackers in the box
that served her for pantry ; also a box
of honey which some Impulse had made
her buy a week before. She arranged
them all upon her little table and then
knocked at her next. neighbor's door.
"I wonder If you'd come and have
supper with me?" she said. "There's
nothing ' but crackers and m.'.lk and
honey what we used to have at home
when I .was a child but somehow I
wanted company." '
' The woman next door looked at her;
her voice trembled.
"Do you know that you were sent to
me?" she asked.
That was the beginning. Slowly oth

that made the day a Joy both In antici

homes troubled Miss Brett no longer.

How to Fool a Lazy Liver
with Artificial Exercise
TTVERY serious Sickness has a
-t small ueginmng.
And, in nine cases out of
o ten that small beginning is
made in the Bowels.
Indigestion is the beginning of most
diseases.
It paves the way for all others.
Lack of exercise, hasty eating, Improper
food, are Its first causes.
Lazlnsss, and postponement, permits It
to grow Into Chronic Constipation, which
means life-long Discomfort.
It Isn't necessary to be sick-a-bed, you
know, In order to be mighty uncom
fortable. Even slight Indigestion affects the
nerves, dulls the mind, and obscures the
merry sunshine of Life.
And, Indigestion once started, grows
fast, corrodes temperament, and discounts
happiness, good cheer, capacity.
It does that long before It puts you on
the Sick list.
Every thinking Doctor knows why.
Professor Rand knew It.
That's why he framed up for students
his famous formula for Happiness, viz.:
"Trust In Cod, and keep your Bowels
open."
The Bowels need adjustment from time
to time, Just like a clock, or a watch.
No "Good time" Is humanly possible
without this.
And, the time to adjust the watch Is
not when It has run down, nor when the
main spring is broken, but at the very
minute adjustment Is discovered necessary.
The time to adjust the Bowels Is not
merely when your Head Aches, when your
Liver Is Sick, your Stomach in Revolt, and
Nature's Food Process retarded for 24
hours or longer.
) The proper time to adjust them Is the
very minute you suspect they need adjustment
If your tongue Is slightly coated,
If your breath is 'under suspicion,
' If your Head feels a trifle heavy or
dull,
If digestion seems even a little slow,
If Heartburn, Belching, Colio or
Restlessness begin to show themselves,
That's the time to eat a Cascaret.
.
Don't imagine the Cascaret Is Ineffec
tive because it is pleasant to eat as Candy.
It acts as pleasantly as It tastes. It Is
as congenial to your Bowels as It is to your
Palate.
It is not a " Blle-drlver " which floods
out your stomach today with fluid Juices
needed for tomorrow.
Put, it acts like Exercise, Instead.
It stimulates the muscular lining of the
Bowels and Intestines.so that they mechan
ically digest food and drive out the
waste.
The time to use a Cascaret is when you
first suspect you need one.
The only way to have them ready to
use precisely when you need them Is to
carry them constantly in your pocket, as
you do a Watch or a Lead pencil.
The ten cent box of Cascarets is made
thin, flat, round-edged, and small, for this
precise purpose.
Be very careful to get the genuine,
made only by the Sterling Remedy Com
pany and never sojd In bulk. Every

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be.
Incurable. For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incurable
Science baa proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease, and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manu
factured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the market. It
is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and
